Data science through the lens of research design

You are a data scientist or engaged in a data science project in your organization. You have one of the most interesting, influential, and intellectually stimulating jobs on the market. You've mastered stats, machine learning, become a programming wizard, an expert in visualization, a big data evangelist, and a math god. These last three years, our group has lead numerous data science projects across diverse verticals, including ad tech, fin tech, health tech, cloud computing, security, and the telecom industry. Surprisingly, many of our projects share similar attributes despite originating from different domains.
